Lunch lesson

When the counter-serve cook is harried and forgets to put your bagel in the toaster, then says, about five minutes later, “Uh-oh, drastic measures are needed,” you’d do well to cancel the order. Otherwise he will put the bagel in the panini press as a speedy remedy, resulting in the equivalent of a warmed but still floppy pita. Ha. This reminds me of a pathetic pickle from a few years back.
